When in Our Music God Is Glorified

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 10.10.10.4 Appears in 85 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:30 Lyrics: 1 When in our music God is glorified, and adoration leaves no room for pride, it is as though the whole creation cried, "Alleluia!" 2 How often, making music, we have found a new dimension in the world of sound, as worship moved us to a more profound alleluia! 3 So has the church, in liturgy and song, in faith and love, through centuries of wrong, borne witness to the truth in every tongue: alleluia! 4 And did not Jesus sing a psalm that night when utmost evil strove against the Light? Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight: alleluia! 5 Let every instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise! And may God give us faith to sing always, "Alleluia!"

Go to Dark Gethsemane

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 507 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:36-39 Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane, All that feel the tempter’s power; Your Redeemer’s conflict see, Watch with Him one bitter hour; Turn not from His griefs away, Learn from Jesus Christ to pray. 2 Follow to the judgment hall; View the Lord of Life arraigned; O the wormwood and the gall! O the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss; Learn from Christ to bear the cross. 3 Calvary’s mournful mountain climb; There, adoring at His feet, Mark the miracle of time, God’s own sacrifice complete; “It is finished!” hear Him cry; Learn from Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb Where they laid His breathless clay: All is solitude and gloom. Who has taken Him away? Christ is risen! He meets our eyes. Savior, teach us so to rise. Used With Tune: REDHEAD 76

Then in his hands the cup he raised, And God anew he thanked and praised; While kindness in his bosom glowed, And from his lips salvation flowed: My blood I thus pour forth, be cries, To cleanse the soul in sin that lies; In this the covenant is sealed, And Heav’n’s eternal grace revealed. With love to man this cup is fraught, Let all partake the sacred draught; Through latest ages let it pour, In mem’ry of my dying hour.
